Is your point a negative one? Do you see too many of those Gibsons being made, perhaps implying a lower quality or an unlikelihood of them ever becoming collectible?
Or is the situation a positive one? The popularity of the guitars based on a perceived good value for money spent?
I don't have a dog in this race but I thought I detected a negative connotation in your post about the mass consumption of the mass production of this particular Gibson model.
Is that what you intended?
